ECW: The Protege

shawn michaels · July 14, 2011

Can't wait to see what's coming... And you beeing raided seems to actually help the diary. I know it sucks to you, when it comes to booking, but as a reader i like the effect it causes on the plot.

Riding the Storm

(Booking meeting Part 2)

The Booking Team of ECW were now working on the second phase of the meeting, now debating what is going to be done to the weeks leading up to Wrestlepalooza.

Anthony: Ok, first things first, Kimo is gone. I mean it’s one thing that you put on mediocre matches, but you are sorry as a “bodyguard”, because remember, The Miz didn’t want him, and then he feels that he was protected from firing since Fatu worked here, and now he’s becoming a negative influence? We could save the money for something else.

Dreamer: Ok as soon as Fatu’s contracts ends, we will release Kimo.

Heyman: Ok, well what are so are we going to book for the next show?

Anthony: Well since we posted we posted online, at Wrestlepalloza, we are going to have a 6 man Scramble for the main event for the ECW title. So far the person who is “automatically” in the Scramble is Antonio Bank$, who is the current champion. Any ideas who we should add for the other 5?

Piper: What about Austin Aries?

Anthony: Well I don’t think Aries is over enough for the ECW Title. Besides I have some plans for him in the near future for his “Anti-ECW” crusade storyline that going on right now. But I have an idea who should be in a slot.

Marc: Really? Who?

Anthony: Dreamer.

Dreamer: Why me?

Anthony: Simple your name is synonymous with ECW.

Dreamer: But I don’t think I should win the title.

Anthony: “I never said anything about you WINNING the ECW Title. I was just throwing your name out there about being in the scramble. I mean it’s not finalized.

As Dreamer went on explaining who he thought should be in the 5 slots in the Extreme Scramble, I get a text on my phone. It wasn’t the stranger that responded before but a “familiar” nemesis.

“Hello, I see you guys are doing well, and for that I applaud and congratulate you. I didn’t think you would last this long. Well I have a surprise for you. Good luck. –Bischoff.”

I interrupt the meeting and I tell Sophie to put the computer on the projector screen. She goes to the website link that I was given by Eric Bischoff. The link was something that I was all too familiar with.

“Kid Kash has just joined World Championship Wrestling”

That was the headline of the site that I saw, and it started to not scare me like the others, in fact, I was the opposite, it’s like the old saying goes, “imitation is the greatest form of flattery.” While everyone in the room is panicking, I thought of a GREAT idea.

Anthony: Guys please, calm down. I think I have a perfect idea; in fact this might be a blessing in disguise!

Le Grizzly: What can you do? Get Kid Kash back?

Anthony: No. In fact anyone who has left us to go to a bigger company, they are gone. They will eventually come back when they realize the grass isn’t greener, or not at all. In fact with all these companies taking our talent, I am actually flattered.

Piper: Flattered? Honored?! Have you taken too many chair shot to the head Anthony?

Anthony: No. Listen. When people go and try to steal our talent, I mean what does that say? That says that the performer is very talented, but also, it shows that we are doing something RIGHT! I mean it’s a combination of booking and storytelling. It’s like a formula so to speak. It takes talent, plus booking, plus getting the people interested. They all have to be connected. Without one of these, we won’t be successful. And look at our numbers? Week after week, we are pulling usually sold out shows and decent numbers on pay per view, despite our size. Look, I think we should end this meeting for today, so no one gets stressed out. I will see everyone later this week.

As everyone leaves the room, Heyman stays behind, and begins to inquire about the plans that I had in mind.

Heyman: So what does this plan you got in mind involving Kash?

Anthony: I got a question, do you ever follow “magicians and magic” tricks?

Heyman: No, I don’t, but I don’t know what that has to do with this.

Anthony: Simple. The secret to magic tricks is “Misdirection”. The magician makes you pay attention to his left hand, while taking away the focus from the right. That the same thing that we are going to do. You see, WCW and all the other promotions think because they can take away a star that we are pushing that it will cripple us, but in the end….we will come out better for it.

Heyman: Umm I still don’t know what you are talking about.

Anthony: Then I guess we are going to have to wait till the next show to find out. Because I have a plan, and believe me, if it works out the way I want, ECW is going to have the last laugh.

Anthony gives Heyman as slightly devious smile.

To Be Continued.

ECW Breaking News

ECW being Shaken Up?

Well there are some rumblings in the ECW Locker Room and the Booking Teams. There has been strong rumors that ECW are going to shake up the roster and start incorporating Divisions and Ranking Systems. We caught up with ECW Co Owner Logan Anthony and he has confirmed that it is INDEED TRUE.

Anthony: Right now, me and Paul (Heyman) have sat down and thought up ideas on not only how to stir things up within the locker room, but also to have a sense of “order and structure” to determine worthy contenders for titles. The divisions will be broken down into 5, ECW Title, TV Title, Tag Team Titles, in addition to two other titles, the ECW Internet title, which will focus on new Indy Stars that are new to the promotion and will more than likely be future stars within ECW. And the other title is the ECW Womens title known as the “Extreme ViXXXens Title” . Now, I know that there has NEVER been a Women’s Title in ECW, with are recent partnership with All Women’s promotion Shimmer and with our two female stars on the roster (Cheerleader Mellissa and MsChif) I believe that it’s a sign of things to come. Now, make no mistake, the women NEED to have talent. I mean, my priorities are as follows Talent first, Beauty Second.”

When asked when the Divisions will take place, he responded the day AFTER the PPV “Wrestlepalooza.” Also he made this comment when dealing with the divisions.

Anthony: “For the division Ranking system, we are only dealing with the TOP 5. Those rankings will determine who gets title shots and how many. It will be consisted on Win/Loss records and the average “heat” (score) of the match itself. That wrestler can only challenge for a title, if he is only in the top 5. Also you can’t be in more than one division unless that person is in a Tag Team Division, that the only exception to the rule. And the last message is to the entire locker room, Make every match count, because even though the rankings don’t take place until the end of the month, keep in mind you are being watched. Good Luck”

The Ranking Standings are posted below, more as this develops.

Extreme Measures, episode X

“Pushing The Limits”

The ECW Committee said that there would be some “changes” going on in ECW and most of them taking place right after Wrestlepalooza at the end of the month, and the “warning” that Paul Heyman rang true, “From now on, wrestle every match as if it COUNTS” And believe me on this, tonight, these guys are going to fight as such!

Black Tiger vs Ms.Chif

Tiger and Ms. Chif have been on opposite sides of the war that is brewing with their allies. Tiger allying with Cheerleader Melissa, while Chif was allying with Kid Kash. Chif as even went so far as interfere in on Kash’s behalf with a match with Tiger, prompting the return of the “injured” Cheerleader Melissa. Now the war between Melissa and Kash has to end, and Tiger and Chif have became pivotal roles in this war. This match will very important not just for Tiger and Chif but for Kash and Melissa as well. If Chif wins, shes allowed ringside in Kash’s corner, but if Tiger wins, she is BARRED from ringside!

No DQ Falls Count ANYWHERE Match!

Cheerleader Melissa vs Kid Kash

This battle has been brewing for weeks between the Notorious K.I.D. and “Miss Trouble” . Over the last few battles, Melissa has came up short against the Notorious one, not because she couldn’t beat him, but because each every time Kash has came up with a short cut. He has even went so far as to enlist her former nemesis from Shimmer, Ms. Chif! And they did the unthinkable and tried to break her neck. But now this is the final battle, and there will be NO EXCUSES.

Rob Conway vs Jerry Lynn

With Conway’s highly publicized departure, Conway wanted to add insult to injury, by getting a victory over Jerry Lynn. Lynn is one of the most underrated and technically gifted wrestlers in the world today! Will Lynn give him a fitting “parting gift”? or will Conway have the “last laugh”?

Kimo vs ??

Kimo now says that he wants to make a statement and stop living in his “cousin” EKMO’s shadow as the “least” talented one. ECW has heard Kimo’s request and now they are going to granted, the only twist is, they never revealed who his opponent is!

Extreme Scramble Qualifier #1

Yoshihiro Tajiri w/Dawn Marie vs ECW TV Champion Scorpio

Both of these men have been impressing the audiences and the ECW higher ups lately. Tajiri has snapped the winning streak of the Damaja and has had some impressive victories. Scorpio defeated former ECW TV Champion Rico Dinero to once again be the TV champion for the 5th time! Now both of these men are going to have to lay it all out there if they wanna shot to win the ECW Title at Wrestlepalooza!

Final Battle- Anything Goes, Unsanctioned Match

Shane Helms vs Rico Dinero

And like all things, everything must end. Helms and Dinero has had a various bloody encounters. But it was almost like a storybook where both competitors ironically joined the promotion around the same time, Dinero has had more of a illustrious career, winning the TV Title his very first night in the promotion. Now, where Dinero has gained prestige, Helms has earned the respect of the fans. Nothing was given to Helms and he was repeatedly screwed out of not of the TV title but the World title as well. Helms got a measure of revenge, when he “assisted” 2 Cold Scorpio in defeating Dinero for the Television Championship. Now, this is the Final Battle between these two men, and the referee is only there to count the pinfall or submission. May God have mercy on them both.

Extreme Scramble Qualifier #2

Dave Finlay vs Logan Anthony Gates

The hard fighting Irishman wants more than anything to get another chance at the ECW Championship, as well as his arch rival in Antonio Bank$. The last time these two met, Bank$ stole a victory and the title, (although Bank$ didn’t know that his stable interfered on his behalf and helped him win the title.) Logan Gates has been paying his dues in ECW, despite being a rookie in the ECW battleground, but never the less, he hasn’t backed from anyone, especially from the Samoan Terrors of Ekmo and Kimo. Now in this match, which will prevail in this match? The experience and toughness of Finlay or the heart and perseverance of Gates?

Extreme Scramble Qualifier #3

Ron “The Truth” Killings vs The Sandman

The Sandman is no stranger to ECW Gold, winning every single title since being with the promotion, including winning the ECW Title an impressive 5 times! Now, he going to try and make it 6 times! However, Ron Killings will be standing in his way. Killings is a little worse for wear, after facing Shane Helms in an absolutely BRUTAL match! So will Sandman get a chance to add to his title linage, or will the “truth” make a “Killing” and make it in the scramble?

And also, Antonio Bank$ has an “announcement” that he is going to make at Extreme Measure X!

Black Tiger vs MsChif: The winner will determine if Ms.Chif will be allowed at Ringside during the Kash/Melissa Match.

As she was trying to leading him back to the ring, Ms.Chif blindsided her and attacked her.

She yelled at Kid Kash to finish her off, but he told her to go to the back! Kash tried to drag her to the ring, and finish her, hitting her with a <span style="color: #ff0000;" id="">Spike Brainbuster</span>! And he went for the pin, but miracously, she kicked out!! Kash then picked her up, and ripped her shirt apart, further trying to embarrass her! He then started doing Ric Flair Chops to her, and an Elbow Strike to her face! Kash went out of the ring and tried to set up a table, he then picked her up and put her on the top rope! Kash then tried a powerbomb, but then Melissa countered it in midair in a Hurracanrana, just like Kash did years ago, as a last ditch desperation move! The finish came when Kash tried to use a chair on her, but then Black Tiger in street clothes came out and grabbed the chair and did the Roaring Elbow on him! Tiger then propped Kash up, he picked up Melissa and did the gesture to “Finish him”. While Melissa was going to the top rope, Tiger set up another table! Melissa with all her strength left, used her last bit of energy left and did the <span style="color: #0000ff;" id="">HIGH SPIRITS (Kudoh Drive</span>r) off the top rope and thru the table!! Joey Styles Screamed “OH MY GOD” and the crowd chanted “HOLY SH*T!!!” She collapse on top of Kash for her hard fought victory! After the match, she went to hug Tiger, only “another Tiger” came out from the back!

There was plenty of near falls in this fast paced 17 minute match, and both men came close to pinning the other with Tajiri hitting Scorpio with a high speed “<span style="color: #0000ff;" id="">Buzzsaw Kick</span>” but that was only for a 2 count. Scorpio wouldn’t be outdone with his version with the “<span style="color: #0000ff;" id="">Pele Kick</span>” and he hit the “<span style="color: #0000ff;" id="">Tumbleweed</span>” but again it was only for a two count.

Keep in mind, this wasn’t a wrestling match, this was a war, the only reason the referee was to count the pinfall or submission, that’s it. Much like their previous battles before, this one didn’t disappoint. With everyone reading the internet, everyone thought that Helms was going to lose his final match in ECW, and there were points in the match where he almost pulled out a victory such as doing <span style="color: #0000ff;" id="">“the Eye of the Hurricane”</span> on the concrete, and a chair assisted <span style="color: #0000ff;" id="">Shining Wizard</span>. Dinero however showed that he was equally hardcore when hit did the “Dinero Express” on Helms with a table propped up. And he then did the <span style="color: #ff0000;" id="">“Near Death Experience”</span> on the concrete busting Helms open! The finish came when both men were brawling in the ring bleeding, when Dinero hit a low blow kick to Helms and then he did his own version of the <span style="color: #ff0000;" id="">“Verterbreaker”</span>, Shane Helms own finishing move, which shockingly , Helms barely kicked out of! Then Helms, very bloody and broken could barely stand, and he tried to fight Dinero but Dinero got the better of him, and hit not one, but TWO <span style="color: #ff0000;" id="">“Near Death Experiences</span>” on the chair for the pinfall and the win.

So when the referee said that “he” was going to die, he wasn’t referring to Bank$, but to the name that Long drew out of the “bag”. Bank$ gave Spike a chance to leave the ring, telling him that he is out of his league. But Spike walks up to Bank$, chest to chest ( or in his case, face to chest) and he tells the referee to ring the bell. Spike definitely didn’t back down from the champion, doing as many moves as he could to take out the champion. He did such moves such as the <span style="color: #0000ff;" id="">Tornado DDT</span>, the <span style="color: #0000ff;" id="">Small Package</span> and <span style="color: #0000ff;" id="">Turnbuckle Stomps</span>.

The he finished off Spike with the Spinesplitta for the pinfall.

T-Lo once again would get involved, but Sandman grabbed T-Lo, and dragged him into the ring and started beating on him. While the referee, tried to restrain Sandman, and get T-Lo out of the ring.

Sweet show man.

-The girl power stuff was put over well.

-lol at Kash jobbing twice in the one show and once wasn't even a match!

-Lightning seems like a potentially interesting character.

-Nice way to send Conway out, lol.

-Excellent match with Scorpio and Tajiri. Put both men over and Tajiri looks a potential dark horse for the scramble.

-Playa's club continue to be an intriguing stable with all their dodgy doings and internal tension.

-Nice farwell to Helms and I'm glad he went out in a manner deserving after what he brought to ECW.

-lol Spike. Match went as expected with him almost surprising and getting the win but putting over the champ.

-Ooh stretcher match, will love to see that happen!

-Nice of you to put Finlay over.

-Your main event put over the scramble and the Playa's club even more but what I really liked about it, was how you still manage to get your money's worth out of Sandman even in this advanced part of his career.

Again, nice show.

ECW Wrestler Profile

Scorpio

http://www.oneprowrestling.com/inc/image.php/4d5915936180e.jpg/180/1/fill

Real Name: Charles Skaggs

Weight: 229 Pounds

Age: 45

Aliases: 2 Cold Scorpio, Flash Funk

ECW Record: 7 Wins, 0 Draws, 7 Losses

Current Titles/Accolades: Former Tag Team Champion (w/ Jerry Lynn), Current ECW Television Champion

Finishers: Scorpio Splash (450 Splash), The Tumbleweed (Corkscrew Somersault Legdrop)

Theme Song: Jungle Boogie by Kool in the Gang

Synopsis: Scorpio was one of the handful of the Old School ECW Alumnist to be brought back for the revival of Extreme Championship Wrestling! Despite the fact that he is up there in age, being the 4th oldest on the roster at 42 (being beaten out by Finlay at 49, New Jack at 44, and Sabu at 43), Scorpio can take to the air at the greatest of ease just like competitors half his age!!

Scorpio was one of the first resigned to the re-boot of ECW, and at the very first PPV, Guilty as Charged, he was one half of the “surprise entrants” to be in the Fatal Four Way tag team scramble to determine the first ever tag team champions along with ECW alumnist, Jerry Lynn. The surprising thing about those two being tagged is that they went up against 3 other teams that have been established and Lynn/Scorpio that was their first paring, and they won the ECW Tag Team Championship that night! They were named the “Rookie Veterans” due to the fact that even though they were in the business so long, they were new to tagging with each other. The Veterans would have their first “signs” of dissention when Scorpio say that he felt that he was “above” the Tag Team titles, which his partner Lynn initially took offense to, even though Scorpio claims it was taken out of “context”.

Lynn and Scorpio would defend the titles from the likes of tag teams such as the Backseat Boyz and The Lords of the Ring (Rob Conway and Nick Dinsmore). At one point, LOTR defeated the Veterans at Extreme Measures episode 4 in a non-title match, earn a shot at the tag team titles at the next PPV, Living Dangerously, which the champions retained. On Episode 5 of EM, Ron Conway defeated Scorpio, (with the help of the Tag Team, Straight Thuggin, and later that night Eddie Kingston defeated Jerry Lynn, via interference from LOTR). Since the champions were pinned by members of an opposing teams, ECW Co-Owner, Paul Heyman decided that it would be a Triple Threat Tag Team Match at EM episode 7, which the champions once again retained the title.

Straight Thuggin would not be denied title contention when their manager, Teddy “T-Lo” Long used his influence to grant his team another title shot against the champs, in exchange for his newest acquisition, (which was at the time Rico Dinero aka Elijiah Burke.) Also the stipulation, whoever the loser was, they could not team for the duration of whoever was champion. The champions tag team reign ended at the end of April at the PPV “Barely Legal”, therefore signaling the Rookie Veterans “temporary split”.

After the split, Scorpio received a his first singles victory over Kid Kash, and then later he was chosen as the mystery opponent for Rico Dinero, with the Television title on the line. Scorpio shocked everyone with the victory, despite Dinero’s affiliation with the Playa$ Club. This would signify Scorpio’s 5th reign with the TV Title. His most recent match to date was an Extreme Scramble Qualifying match to determine who would be one of the six men to be in the Extreme Scramble at the upcoming PPV at Wrestlepalooza against Tajiri! It was a hard fought battle, but in the end, Scorpio fell short to Tajiri’s “M.Bison Stomp”.

Scorpio can put on a high flying show and take it to anyone that challenges him. The skies are the limit for this veteran, which some are saying he could possibly be future ECW Champion, the only title that he has not claimed yet. I guess it is true what they say, “something’s do get better with age”.

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Georgia;">“Inspiration from an unlikely source”</span></span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

Wednesday, Week 3, May 2010 </span></span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p>

</p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

Extreme Measure will be in 3 days, Wrestlepalooza PPV in less than 2 week. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

Logan Anthony decided that he and Paul had been pushing the staff and the booking team pretty hard the last few weeks. He was trying to lessen the damage that all of the bigger promotions were causing when they kept stealing all of ECW top tier talent. It was stressing everyone out, but not as bad as the two owners, Logan and Paul. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

Anthony (Speaking in first person): I needed to give the guys at ECW a break; we all have been working insanely hard to keep ECW afloat. The money wasn’t the problem. Since opening up ECW, we amassed about $2 Million dollars, not to mention that we secured a TV deal next season. So I figured, I give the team a few days off and relax because next week we need to be on our “A-game” because this would be our last Pay Per View before the start of the re-launch of ECW’s “Hardcore TV”. Since I figured that we were doing a good job, I thought I would treat myself to a little reward. So I took myself to a little sports bar and grill not too far from my house. I figured I walk there, besides no one would notice me, because L.A. Gates and Logan Anthony are two separated entities. Besides I doubt these people watched wrestling in the first place. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

After eating a good T-bone steak and drinking a few ice cold beers, I pulled out my briefcase and laptop and started to go back to work. Actually, I wasn’t fully into my work, because I was watching one of those old College Bowl Football game, on one of the big screen TV’s. I started looking at the some of the matches that I had saved to my computer and began taking notes like I do every night, when I suddenly get a message from my phone.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

Message:</span><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><strong> “Grenier, Scorpio, Lynn, Dudley, and Tajiri have been approached by WCW. Sorry. Sophie”</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

I wanted to get upset, but honestly, I couldn’t. I mean I knew this was going to happen; in fact I would do the same exact thing if I was in their shoes. After a while, I wouldn’t try and let the bad news overtake me. I just continued with my beer. As I watched the College Football, I started to think and wonder why college football is more competitive than professional. As I sat back and wondered, I realize is that collegiate level sports the teams fight and put everything out there, because they are hungry. I mean they have to be picked up and chosen to play for a bowl championship, even though there are plenty of bowl game championship, let alone the main championship. So can the same idea and theory work in wrestling? </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

The gears in my head started to grind in my head. I mean granted ROH tried to adopt the same principles early in its creation but it worked for a while, but now with the idea of me adding a Jr. Heavyweight division and a women’s division which I have affectionately renamed it “Vixxxen’s” division, maybe losing some guys didn’t seem to look too bad anymore, I mean after all, it business, nothing lasts forever. So I started formulating an idea for a ranking system. The premise is simple; the quality of the matches vs. the rating of the matches, and the ranking/quality of the opponent. In addition to that another thing would factor into it, will be the outcome of the matches. So for example, the fans don’t want to see a guy ascend in the rankings when he wins by shortcuts every week by count outs or DQ so to speak. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

After spending 2 hours in that bar and grill, I had an avalanche of ideas in my head concerning ECW. But the main concern was the Vixxxen’s division, I mean nothing like this has been done before in ECW, and I don’t want to be like WWE, where the women look hot, but they can’t wrestle their way out of a paper bag. I go to my phone and call a friend of mine…</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

Voice:</span><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><em> “Hello”</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

Anthony: </span><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><em>“Hey Quack, it’s me”</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

The friend was none other than Indy Wrestling legend and current booker of one of our partner promotions, Shimmer, “Lightning” Mike Quackenbush.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;">

Quack: </span><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><em>“Hey man, what’s going on, I heard about ECW losing a few guys that sucks. “</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><em>
